try command-shift delete.  I know this seems somewhat counter intuitive but it 
may work.
you can also try a copy and move item to here which is command-option-v.  once 
the item has been transferred to the mac, it should be easily deleetable.

I copied my NLS books folder to my Seagate external USB drive. Now that I have 
read one of the books I want to delete it from the Seagate drive. I found it 
and pressed command delete and got a message saying preparing filename for 
deletion. After about an hour and no progress I aborted the deletion with quite 
a bit of trouble doing so. Because I had so much trouble with it I don't want 
to go back and try it again until hearing from someone on this list. Is there 
something I should do other than just find the book and press command delete? 
Any help will be appreciated.
